Radware
Pros
- + Deploy on-premises, always-on cloud, on-demand or hybrid under one policy model
- + Emergency Response Team managed service included with the cloud DDoS tiers
- + 30 Tbps of scrubbing capacity across 25 fully connected centers with Anycast routing
- + DefensePro X keeps traffic inspection and TLS keys on premises while using cloud-scale attack intelligence
- + Long public track record — NASDAQ-listed since 1999, 12,500+ customers claimed across 80+ countries
Cons
- - No public pricing; published list prices put serious tiers in the six-figure annual class
- - Assumes an in-house security team for tuning, thresholds and policy management
- - Product sprawl — WAF, bot management and Web DDoS Protection are separate line items
- - Poor fit for startups and mid-market buyers who need self-service onboarding
- - Scrubbing center locations and contractual SLA numbers are not published
Bunny Shield
Pros
- + Free Basic tier is genuinely protective: 71 WAF rules, 25M requests/month, upload scanning included
- + Full published feature matrix with explicit overage rates — pricing clarity above the category norm
- + Runs on the same 119-center edge as Bunny CDN, so protection adds no second network hop
- + Upload scanning for malware and CSAM is rare outside enterprise UGC platforms' tooling
- + API Guardian validates and authenticates API traffic at the edge before it reaches origin
Cons
- - Only protects properties served through Bunny's network — no stand-alone mode
- - Bot mitigation and inspection depth tier-gated: complex bots require the $99/month Business plan
- - Custom WAF rules capped at 10 (Advanced) and 25 (Business); access lists capped by entries
- - Request-based billing keeps metering during attacks unless limits are configured
- - Younger product with less community depth and fewer documented edge cases than Cloudflare's WAF
